The Reading Mole - Waldemar Mandzel

A cross-section through a meadow. Above ground the molehills are not earth but heaps of books, the nearest one piled high in red, orange and ochre covers with more scattered across the field behind. Below the grass line a mole lies in its tunnel, propped on its front paws over an open book. A hand-drawn green border frames the scene.

Drawn in pen and ink and coloured with watercolour, the grass and the soil built from close parallel strokes. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
